websession is just the endpoint the websocket will connect to. It's just like normal HTTP servers or REST services: You can have multiple endpoints on one server, like:
ws://localhost:8181/customersws://localhost:8181/pricesws://localhost:8181/items
... and so on. (This is just an example and does not necessarily make sense for a specific use case.) In old-style HTTP, you could image them as different directories on the same server, possibly offering very different contents.
In order to use the socket correctly, you have to know your desired endpoint and use it when creating the socket. So it depends on the server whether ws://localhost:8181 or ws://localhost:8181/websession is correct (or even both of them, depending on the purpose of the individual endpoint). It's generally a good practice to give the endpoint a meaningful name, so the first one would be discouraged.
As the application seems to be running on your localhost, you should take a look at the server running at port 8181 to find out the endpoints offered. And you could possibly get used to websockets, here is one of many possible starting points.
